Page 41

| Tax receipts) that the payment has been duly remitted to the appropriate authority.

19 | Value Added Tax

|  | The amounts stated in this Agreement to be payable by the Borrower are exclusive of VAT and accordingly the Borrower, shall pay, against delivery of appropriate supporting documentation on demand any VAT properly chargeable in respect of any transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

20 | INDEMNITIES

| 20.1 | The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Lender harmless against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, disbursements, costs and expenses (including all legal costs on the attorney and own client scale) to which the Lender becomes subject to, which directly or indirectly arises from or relates to:

| 20.1.3 | the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default;

21 | REMEDIES AND WAIVERS

|  | No failure by the Lender to exercise, nor any delay by the Lender in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy prevent any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

22 | CERTIFICATE

|  | A certificate signed by any general manager of the Lender (whose appointment or authority as such it shall not be necessary to prove), certifying any amount outstanding in terms of this Agreement or the relevant portion thereof which has become due and payable (including rates of Interest and other charges applicable thereto) shall be prima facie proof of the matters stated for all purposes, including for the purposes of furnishing further particulars, obtaining provisional sentence and obtaining judgment against the Borrower.
